Squirrel! It's squirrels all the way down. The DOJ seems to have taken opportunity of the 100k deaths to quietly drop the insider trading investigation against the senators. Is this EO an attempt to distract from the 100k? Or the attempt to move the RNC convention? Or the attempt to order churches ...

I'm watching Scott & Bailey on Amazon Prime. About two female detectives in Manchester and their female boss. And the bumbling and sexist male detectives senior and junior to them. Not a happy marriage nor a competent male figure anywhere. And it's not a comedy. I love the first few seasons. Amelia...

"monitoring or creating watch-lists of users" "monitoring users based on their activity off the platform " To do this, they will need to know the real ID's of users.

Old story, but new to me. One Thing Space Agencies Must Watch Out for Now: Cats That thought recently became a point of public discussion when Amber Straughn, an astrophysicist at NASA, tweeted: “Actually discussed in a virtual meeting today: how to keep cats from accidentally commanding spacecraft ...

Just imho - these two supply chains don't compete with each other. They would have been separate from beginning, and the export sector will likely be run by fewer staff, as traditionally critters would go as halfs / quarters frozen into export, cutting into consumer pieces done at the import destin...

Charles Dickens: Great Expectations So, I came into Smithfield; and the shameful place, being all asmear with filth and fat and blood and foam, seemed to stick to me. I've never really understood why they kept the name "Smithfield". Sure, it's named after a different place, but it still makes me cri...

Has anyone noticed there seems to be something unusual going on with reporting the numbers of deaths in the US? WaPo's chart has been static since yesterday. CNN's numbers seem to lag other places. Have the number of deaths suddenly dropped? If so, why wouldn't that be the lead story? I've noticed ...

I am getting waaaaaay too comfortable sitting on my ass playing video games. I've been playing Animal Crossings for about a month and it's starting to get boring. If anyone else is playing, DM me for a code if you want visitors/visitation. I just read a fun story. AOC Just Gave Her First Ever Comme...

I do. Rather cold-bloodedly. I am at the good-riddance and it'll be a better world without you stage. The problem is that every state where there is no serious attempt to follow the simple practices of face-covering and safe-distancing is virtually guaranteeing an extended period the sane people st...

I've read that in recent years several new corona viruses were found by the Wuhan lab in samples collected in the wild. The lab also reported finding corresponding antibodies in 3% of the villagers living in villages near the bat caves. So if villagers get the disease, we know it spreads easily and ...

Watched "Upload" and enjoyed it up to the middle where it stops. The story is half finished and there isn't any more to broadcast. I'm going to just be left to grind my teeth until 2022 at the earliest to see the rest. If you want to see the first half of an enjoyable, somewhat dark, dystopian comed...

This came out a couple of weeks back; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV8wWhjTKRU "How Coronavirus aka COVID19 Kills Some People (But Not Others) - I'm a Lung Doctor" It's a bit hokey but I like how it goes into the details of what the virus is actually doing. Lots of stuff over my head; projectile ...

Set in Le Havre, this psychological thriller concerns a very young and gifted child, who remembers having a different mother than the one he lives with.

"Balthazar" is back with season 2 on Amazon. I think it's Acorn. It's the medical examiner as brilliant detective who is mentally unstable and few people can stand trope. I thought season 1 was pretty good. Oh, and he sees dead people, so there's that.
